The Death List Novel - Chapter 612
Chapter 612 Message
Because of using the token to enter Toril World, Qin Lun and the others lost their mission guidance to Shatter the Universe.
However, these three fellows had grown very quickly and had obtained many Golden Rank quest ratings. Therefore, the Broken Star Sky had given them a little plot clue at their location.
It was like Qin Lun’s drop site, the underground sewer network. This waterway network is connected to the underground hideouts of many Border Gate gangs, and there are many minor plots that can be cut through.
However, their luck was a bit bad, and they only found the secret shrine of the Church of Amberry. Because the Sharp Queen was too cold and unrestrained, they were unwilling to face each other head-on at the beginning, so the three of them deliberately didn’t touch the bad luck of the Amberry Church.
Otherwise, if they continued to investigate further, they might be able to find out why the Amberry Church had set up an underground shrine in the city. This was obviously an important clue to the situation of the Border Gate and this large port.
As for Rand and Hill’s location, the Oak Bucket Tavern, there was naturally a clue to the plot. If the three of them had only faintly felt it before, then Qin Lun was now very sure that this clue was on this drunken drunkard in front of him.
Of course, the prompt to shatter the starry sky was concealed enough. If the three of them did not choose to return to the Oak Bucket Tavern, then this plot line would not be able to unfold.
“Guests, do you know this guy?” A hint of surprise flashed through the waitress’ eyes. At the same time, she was a little happy. She had a good eye for living in places like the Oak Bucket Tavern all year round.
Although the three people in front of her were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were very generous in giving tips. Moreover, they were completely ignorant of the complicated environment of the Oak Bucket Tavern. Even if their faces were unfamiliar, she could guess that the three of them were mercenaries or adventurers.
Such people are usually not stingy when they have plenty of money. The drunkard owed the tavern a lot of money for meals. If she could help the tavern owner get it back, she would get a commission.
Qin Lun did not answer the waitress immediately. Instead, he crouched down to help the drunkard tidy up his appearance.
Although the drunkard was described as sloppy, with his eyes closed tightly, his beard on his chin had not been taken care of for a long time, and he looked like a mess. However, upon closer inspection, this person was actually not very old. He was estimated to be around 30 years old at most, or even under 30 years old.
Although his clothes were stained and damaged in many places, it could be seen that he was wearing a fine waistcoat with a silk shirt with lace on the trumpet, lantern trousers and dirty long boots.
A cashmere coat and a bracelet pocket watch would make him a perfect gentleman. Perhaps he owed so much at the Oak Bucket Tavern because the boss was looking at his noble attire.
However, if he failed to repay his debts many times, no matter how good his skin was, there was nothing he could do to help him. At the very least, the owner and waiter of the tavern had clearly lost their patience. If Qin Lun and the others hadn’t come over, this fellow would have been stripped naked and drowned in a dark sewer.
“Help us prepare two suites. Also, take this guy to wash up and let us know when he wakes up.” Qin Lun instructed the two waiters.
The two male attendants gave each other a look and deliberately looked at the female attendant with embarrassed expressions. Small people have the intelligence of small people, so they naturally know what to do in such a situation.
The waitress frowned and smiled embarrassedly, “Guests, you’re making things difficult for us. This brat already owes the tavern”
“We’ll help him pay off his debts. He’s one of our former employers. Since we’ve met here, we can’t just ignore him.” Qin Lun smiled and interrupted the waitress.
Rand and Hill exchanged a glance. The fireworks took out two silver coins from their pockets and handed them to the two male waiters who were carrying drunkards. Hill smiled and patted the wooden stool, signaling the waitress to sit beside him and secretly stuffed a goddess gold coin into her palm.
“Tell us about his recent situation and what happened to him that made him look like this.”
The waitress lowered her head and glanced at the golden light between her fingers. She immediately smiled happily and said, “That rotten friend of yours came to the tavern a month ago. At that time, he also had a pretty good caravan. The Gate of Byrd took good care of such a long-distance caravan. I heard that his goods sold well …”
The waitress paused for a moment as she spoke. She clenched the gold coins in her hands and looked at the three of them expectantly.
“Beautiful young miss, greed is not a good habit.” Qin Lun and the others looked at each other and smiled. Hill took out another gold coin and shook it. However, he did not give it to her immediately. “Tell me, to be more specific, this is the last one.”
“After he finished his business, the caravan originally planned to leave. However, it seemed that they heard some news and stayed in the tavern. A few days later, they found a few mercenaries and went out of the city. I wonder what they encountered in the wilderness. When they returned, he was the only one left. Then … they kept drinking and became like this.” The waitress smiled embarrassedly.
“Do you know what news he has received?” Rand asked cautiously.
“I don’t know. He didn’t tell anyone in the tavern.” The waitress nodded and spread out her hands. “It doesn’t matter to him, but Old butler is very cautious and always reminds him of his behavior. If the old man was still around, he probably wouldn’t be like this.”
“Do you recognize the mercenaries who went out with him? What do they look like?” Hill asked with a frown.
“It’s not very common for them to come to the tavern. They seem to be newbies from Bird’s Gate who have only been here for a few months.” The waitress tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, “However, some of the old mercenaries in the tavern once chatted. Those mercenaries seemed to be very powerful, especially a silver-haired girl, Elves, and a red-haired knight who always carried a large cloth bag.”
‘”Elistine” Qin Lun’s palm tightened as he frowned and asked, “Give me a detailed description of that female Elves’s appearance.”
“I can’t say.” The waitress smiled bitterly. “She always has some colorful paint on her face, as if she doesn’t want people to see her face clearly. However, some wretched fellows say that she must be a great beauty. The paint on her face is related to her combat position. I don’t care too much about it.”
‘”That’s right …” It should be Elistine, so the other red-haired knight is Lady Lauvita’s follower, Idrea! Why didn’t they go north with Milleras? ” Qin Lun lowered his head and whispered to himself, no longer paying attention to what the waitress said next.
Hill glanced at Qin Lun, who was deep in thought, and then turned around to continue questioning the waitress. However, the waitress did not give much useful information at this point. In the end, she took the gold coins and was sent away by him.
“That … Elistine, the girl named Elves, is your friend from your last adventure?” Hill and Rand waited for Qin Lun to regain his senses from his contemplation, then looked at him with a smile and blinked his eyes.
Hill was already very implicit in his so-called friend’s words. The five murderers often teased each other, two of which they were always happy about. One was to guess the Shepherd’s usual rations for three meals, and the other was Qin Lun’s many debts in the mission world.
Hill, who was older and considered himself a Catholic, had no interest in women. Rand’s wife and daughter had both died in his early years, and he had never recovered from the trauma in his heart. Disciple Hansen would occasionally have fun in the recreation area of the Corner of the Abyss, but that was only a physiological need.
As for the clown Grant, he didn’t seem to have any EQ at all. When he saw a beautiful creature, most of his thoughts were to make mask fragments, lust, and so on. To him, it was just a floating cloud.
Only Qin Lun was different. The other murderers had heard more than once that he was in contact with a storyline beauty or beauty Apostle in a mission world. Moreover, these beauties were all very powerful.
Hill once joked that even if Qin Lun didn’t find a few of them to form a team, as long as he gathered all the beauties who had an affair with him, he would be able to form a beautiful and powerful Apostle team.
‘”Elistine is the Elven druid I mentioned to you before. After entering this world, I thought that after such a long period of time, she would have gone to Evergathering Island with the Japanese Elves Diplomatic Corps. If not, she would have returned to Anke Elves Court. I didn’t expect that she was still at Bird’s Gate a month ago.” Qin Lun calmed down and said.
“Could it be related to you?” Hill and Rand exchanged glances and asked meaningfully.
‘”No way” Qin Lun shook his head, but he hesitated in his heart.
The last time Qin Lun left Toril World at Bird’s Gate, it was roughly early summer, but now it was the autumn of 1355 in the Valley Calendar, with a gap of more than three months.
If Elistine and Idrea had appeared here a month ago, they might have stayed at Bird’s Gate for more than two months after Qin Lun and Apostle left the mission world.
Prince Milleras of Elves had a heavy responsibility and could not stay here for such a long time. The Silvermoon Queen’s descendant, Emily Silverhand, her magic teacher, Angelo, and the dwarf prince, Lorraine, also had their own missions and would definitely not stay.
Although Elistine was powerful, it had little contact with the human world. Even with Idrea accompanying him, it would be difficult for him to endure the lifestyle of a human city. Qin Lun did not think that she had the ability to live in Bird’s Gate for more than two months, but a thought kept popping up in his heart, telling him that this was possible.
“No matter what, when that guy wakes up tonight, we’ll know the general situation.” Qin Lun said with some uncertainty.
“Right, we still don’t know what that drunkard has to do with you?” Rand asked in surprise, “Before you entered Toril, you didn’t seem to have mentioned such a fellow to us. Moreover, it looks like he isn’t a beauty disguised as a man …”
‘”Pfft! Cough cough …” Qin Lun spat out all the wine he had just drunk and couldn’t help but be angry. “That guy’s name is Seaver Hulan. He’s a noble young master. We were hired by his Chamber of Commerce to conceal our identities back then … Who do you think I am?”
Hill and Rand looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
